When I open Firefox, I get a message saying my INSTALLED version is more than a few months old, and I need to upgrade. But when I check for updates, there are none. I run v. 3.6.13 Mac, the latest version. Does it want me to install the beta v4 or what?

This message appeared in the last 2 weeks. I was traveling and using a variety of internet portals. But it's still appearing now that I'm home, so that probably is not a factor. I have Firefox set for auto download/install of updates.

Firefox 3.6.16 has a newer build and release date than Firefox 4.0 does.

  • When I try to open Firefox, I get a message saying that firefox is already currently running, although it is not running. Close and try again or restart computer. How can I fix this?

    I always close Firefox when I am finished with the web. When I try to open it later, I often get a message saying that firefox is currently running, so close it first. As far as I can tell, firefox is not running. The message then says to restart your computer and try again. I restart my computer and then firefox opens.

  • When I open firefox I get this message; The address isn't valid The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.

    I get this message whenever I open firefox or a new tab. Anything I had tabbed to the top has gone, and the original homepage which shows all my recent visits is invalid. The full message is:
    The address isn't valid
    The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.
    Web addresses are usually written like http://www.example.com/
    Make sure that you're using forward slashes (i.e. /).

    Help mee!!!

    Hi fredmcd-hotmail
    It's not that I'm typing anything in wrong, it's when I first open Firefox or a new tab. Instead of displaying the firefox page showing my recently viewed websites it's just an invalid URL. Why would I be blocked from this page?
    Thanks

  • When I open Firefox, I get a message that says "Your profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing inassable." Help

    I need help...I can't open firfox :( I have uninstalled it, I have re-installed and it won't work :( I have looked up trouble shooting. I keep getting this message "Your profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing inassable." I have done this twice.

    You profile folder is damaged or missing.<br>
    To fix this, we will need to delete the profile by following these steps:
    #Go to the Firefox application data
    #Select the Profiles folder
    #Delete the folder with <code>.default</code> at the end of the name
    Please report back with your results.

  • When ever I try to open Firefox I get this message saying it can not open.

    "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features." I did research on it and I found information on it and it said to to see if the cert6.db is read only and if so unchecked it and restart Firefox, I did that and it did not work same message came up so it then said to delete the file and let Firefox create a new and that should work and it didn't finally they said the fire could be corrupted and to reinstall it I did and it will still not work and i also have over a hundred gbs of free hd space so its not enough room on the hard drive.

    There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • When I open Firefox I get a message that says I am working offline. I have tried reinstalling, but no help. Other acounts on this computer can get to Firefox, but not me. What's wrong?

    I upgraded to the newest version of Firefox yesterday. But now I cannot get online with Firefox. I can check my e-mail and browse the web on Internet Explorer, but not Firefox. I get a message that says Firefox is working offline. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but that did not help. I restored my computer to Sunday's settings, but that did not help.

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

  • When i try to open firefox, I get a message saying another copy is already running. I have tried shutting down comletely and computer still thinks there's another copy running. How can this be?

    There are two separate desktops on this computer, one for me and one for another user. Her Firefox is not affected. I have looked everywhere for this second copy supposedly running but I don't see how it can be because I have shut down all programs several times.

  • I try to open Firefox. Get error message saying Firefox is already running and needs to close - another error message say Firefox can't open

    Turned on laptop (rebooted) after being away from it for a few hours. Went to open my home page. Error message popped up saying Firefox is already running and must be closed. I closed it and another error message popped up saying Firefox can't open - incomplete or missing files.
    I went into Processes to close Firefox. Selected 'end process' but nothing happened.
    Tried to use Internet Explorer but it just gets hung up. Cannot access anything.
    And, because I can't open Firefox, I can't go a refresh.
    Everything was working just fine a few hours ago.
    Any thoughts?

    What is the computer system and Firefox on the bad computer?
    Separate Issue;
    Your System Details on this computer shows;
    Multiple versions of your Adobe programs.
    Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
    Go to '''adobe.com''' and download the full installers after removing
    all of the old programs.
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up in Windows.

  • I recently connected to a wireless network. Whe I try to open Firefox I get a message saying the proxy server is refusing connection. Help

    Cannot open Firefox since I connected to wireless network. IE works ok

    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

  • When I open Firefox I get an error saying "Connection was reset". I went through the articles and did what they said for a situation like this but it didn't fix it. However you can help would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time. Tyron

    It also says underneath "Connection was reset" "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." Despite doing what the articles said to do in this situation it hasn't solved it yet.

    HI, and thank you for your reply.  I am a bit confused  however as I would have thought that once I turned off the engine of my car the transmitter and ipod would be also off???? Is there still power coming into the cigarette lighter when the car is off>????? i have a mercedes c class.  The cigarette lighter is still working and the transmitter is still working.  Are you saying that by leaving them still plugged in even though the car was idle and not running it still destroyed  the hard drive????  Also could this happen if a person leaves it docked in a radio cd player but is not listening to it, is it still charging and could this have burned out the hard drive.  (i always left it docked) until i bought the transmitter for the car.
    Your thoughts would be much appreciated as obviously I do not want to make the same mistake again.
    kind regards

  • When i open iPhoto i get a message saying library is locked and i dont have permission. how do i fix this? I'm a complete novice at macs, i cant even access iPhoto at all.

    hi i upgraded iphoto and now when i open it it says library locked no permission ect,
    i downloaded iphoto library manager but im just not cokputer savvy enough to do anythhing
    HELP!! i just want my photos back and want to be able to empty my phone of pics again.

    First open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:'
    Look for the file named iPhotoLock.data and move it to the Trash in the Dock. Launch iPhoto and see if that helped.
    If not Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When I open Firefox, I get a window telling me "[Javascript Application] Exc in ev handl: TypeError: this.oRoot.enable is not a function". When I click ok, Firefox opens normally

    All details in question. I can provide a copy of an image of the window if needed

    Tried disabling all add-ins individually, problem still there. But when I restart via help menu / restart with add-ons disabled, the problem goes away. I do have mcafee installed but the site advisor has been disabled for ages.
